Set-Up
This shredder will operate only when used with the supplied basket. The supplied bas-
ket has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used
with any other basket.
• Shredder comes completely assembled.
• Remove all packing materials before using shredder.
• Basket must be pushed all the way in to operate.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (7)
.
This means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shred-
der will start running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the
paper has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between
paper and other objects, this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and
pets. To avoid accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug
shredder if it will not be used for an extended period.
To shred
•Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position.
•Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds .
•Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding;
see Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
•Shred for no more than 8 minutes; shredding longer will cause the shredder to turn
itself off for 15 minutes to cool down.
•Press control switch to off [O] position after shredding has stopped.
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its speci-
fied capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket
if full. Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out
of shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto-
matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shred-
der; remove the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending
below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam
clearing procedure.

Maintenance
Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of
the cutting cylinders. If you can see paper in the basket window (8), turn off the shred-
der, pull out the basket and empty basket contents.
Regular oiling of the shredder is also necessary to ensure proper performance.
If you are running the shredder at or near capacity, we recommend oiling it monthly.
Using Fellowes Powershred Lubricant #35250 or other non-aerosol vegetable-based
oil in a long-nozzle container:
• Apply oil over full width of paper entry (1) with shredder in off [O] position.
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to
run for about 2 seconds.
• Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position for 3-5 seconds.
• Repeat above automatic [I] and reverse [R] sequence three times.
REMINDER: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products
or aerosol lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.

If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. If
you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not
open shredder head to attempt repair: It could expose you to serious electric
shock and will void your warranty.
